Doowap Days and Bobby Vee

The song this week is from one of my albums entitled "DooWop Days" which can be obtained from my website and can be streamed from the internet.....the song is a tribute to a pop star who is sadly no longer with us....Bobby Vee........I had the pleasure of opening his show on two occasions and he was the nicest guy you could possibly meet....we hit it off straight away and he was a delight....so here it is "The Bobby Vee Song"

............Strawberry Field in Liverpool where...and I quote..."John Lennon used to climb over the wall and play as a child and eventually wrote his famous song about it"......well now you can obtain a limited edition BRICK from the building for....wait for it....75 pounds......is it me or is the world going nuts.....it will be interesting to see how many customers they get from America and how they intend to post it.....I have recently posted some orders for my DVDs.....postage 4 pounds EACH.....so how much a house brick will cost doesn't bear thinking about.

As I have said before there is nothing more annoying than a radio DJ making a negative comment about a record....if they don't like it don't play it....stupid comments cost sales....and even worse joining in with a record while it's being played....recently Steve Wright played "Every Time You Go Away You Take A Piece of Me With You"....he said at the start of the record that he used to sing "you take a piece of MEAT with you".....then joined in on the record saying that on every chorus which wasn't funny once let alone five or six times.....records cost a lot of money to make and fans of the artists don't want to hear an unfunny DJ ruining the song.
